CHARTERS
On October thirty-first, seventeen hundred and fifty-four,
in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of George the Second,
a royal charter was granted by Letters Patent to the Govern-
ors of the College of the Province of New York, in the City
of New York, in America, creating them a Body Corporate to
erect and maintain a college to be known as King's College
for the Instruction and Education of Youth in the Learned
Languages and Liberal Arts and Sciences ; with power to elect
their successors, to hold property, to appoint a president,
fellows, professors and tutors, and to confer degrees.
This charter remained in force until May i, 1784, when
the Legislature at its first session after the adoption of the
Constitution of the State of New York, passed an act entitled
" An Act for granting certain privileges to the college hereto-
fore called King's College, for altering the name and charter
thereof, and erecting an university within this state."
By the terms of this act the franchises and property of the
Governors of King's College were vested in a corporation
styled the Regents of the University of the State of New
York, who were thereby empowered to appoint a president
and professors and to make ordinances for the government of
King's College, the name of which was changed to Columbia
College, and of such other colleges as they should found,
composing the University.
This act was repealed by " An Act to institute an university
within this state and for other purposes therein mentioned,"
which was passed April 13, 1787, largely through the efforts
of Alexander Hamilton, then a member of the Legislature,
and a Regent of the University. By the terms of the repeal-
ing act the original charter granted to the Governors of
King's College was amended, ratified and confirmed, and the
franchises and property formerly enjoyed by the Governors
of King's College were vested in the Trustees of Columbia
College in the City of New York, who were named in the act
and declared and constituted trustees of Columbia College,
s

in perpetual succession, according to the true intent and mean-
ing of said charter.

amended by the following act :
An Act relative to Columbia College in the
City of New-York.
[Laws of 1810 — Chapter 85.]
Whereas the trustees of Columbia College, in the city of
New- York, have represented, that sundry impediments to their

APPENDIX
THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING
Rules for the granting of retiring allowances
IN force November i6, 1910
Retiring allowances are granted in the colleges, universities,
and technical schools on the accepted list of the Foundation on
two distinct grounds: (i) to a teacher of specified service on
reaching the age of sixty-five; (2) to a teacher after twenty-
five years of service as professor, or thirty years of service as
professor and instructor, in case of physical disability.
Rule I. Any person sixty-five years of age who has had
not less than fifteen years of service as a professor, or not
less than twenty-five years of service as instructor,* or as in-
structor and professor, and who is at the time a professor or
an instructor in an accepted institution, shall be entitled to
an annual retiring allowance computed as follows :
a. For an active pay of twelve hundred dollars or less, an
allowance of one thousand dollars, provided no retiring allow-
ance shall exceed ninety per cent, of the active pay.
b. For an active pay greater than twelve hundred dollars
the retiring allowance shall equal one thousand dollars, in-
creased by fifty dollars for each one hundred dollars of active
pay in excess of twelve hundred dollars.
c. No retiring allowance shall exceed four thousand
dollars.
Computed by the formula : R ^ \- 400, where R =^ an-
nual retiring allowance and A ^active pay.
Rule 2. Any person who has had twenty-five years of
service as professor, or thirty years of service as professor
* An instructor is held to be a college or university teacher to whom is
assigned independent teaching or responsibility for the conduct of labora-
tory work, or of classes under the direction or supervision of a professor
or head of a department. The term is not intended to include demon-
strators, mechanicians, laboratory helpers, or other assistants who are not
charged with the responsibility for the conduct of college classes, nor is it
held to include those who give any considerable part of their time to gain-
ful occupations other than college teaching. The Foundation reserves the
right to decide in all doubtful cases what constitutes service as an instructor.
64
APPENDIX 65
and instructor, and who is at the time either a professor or an
instructor in an accepted institution, shall, in the case of dis-
ability unfitting him for the work of a teacher as proved by
medical examination, be entitled to a retiring allowance com-
puted as follows:
a. For an active pay of twelve hundred dollars or less, a
retiring allowance of eight hundred dollars, provided that no
retiring allowance shall exceed eighty per cent, of the active
pay.
b. For an active pay greater than twelve hundred dollars,
the retiring allowance shall equal eight hundred dollars, in-
creased by forty dollars for each one hundred dollars in excess
of twelve hundred dollars.
c. For each additional year of service above twenty-five
for a professor, or above thirty for an instructor, the retiring
allowance shall be increased by one per cent, of the active pay.
d. No retiring allowance shall exceed four thousand
dollars. ^
Computed by the formula: R = (b -j- 15)+ 320, where
R = retiring allowance, A = active pay, and b ^ number of
years of service.
Rule 3. A widow who has been for ten years the wife of
a teacher, who at the time of his death was in receipt of a re-
tiring allowance, or who at the time of his death was eligible
to a retiring allowance, or who had had twenty-five years of
service as a professor, or thirty years of service as an instruc-
tor and professor, shall receive as a pension one-half of the
retiring allowance to which her husband was entitled under
Rule I, or to which he would have been entitled under Rule 2
in case of disability.
Rule 4. In addition to the provision for retiring allowances
made in Rules i and 2, the Foundation will cooperate with in-
stitutions on the accepted list in the retirement of teachers
who have had twenty-five years of service as professor, or
thirty years of service as professor and instructor, but who,
not being sixty-five years of age, are not eligible for retire-
ment under Rule i, upon the following basis:
If the institution grants to such a teacher a retiring allow-
ance at its own cost, the Foundation will consider such teacher
eligible to a retiring allowance on reaching the age of sixty-
five under the rules in force at that time, and at the same rate
which the institution has paid in the interval, provided the re-
tiring allowance so paid shall not be less than that to which
the teacher would be entitled if he retired under Rule 2 on the
ground of disability, and provided further that under no cir-
cumstances will the Foundation pay a higher retiring allow-
66 APPENDIX
ance to such a teacher than that to which he would have been
entitled had he remained in service until the age of sixty-five
and retired under Rule i. Should a teacher so retired by an
institution die before reaching the age of sixty-five, his widow
would be eligible under the rules to receive a pension from
the Foundation equal to one-half of that which her husband
had been receiving, provided that under no circumstances
would such widow be entitled to a higher allowance than that
which she would have received had her husband been retired
under Rule i or Rule 2.
Rule 5. In the preceding rules, years of leave of absence
are to be counted as years of service, but not exceeding one
year in seven. Librarians, registrars, recorders, and admin-
istrative officers of long tenure whose salaries may be classed
with those of professors and assistant professors are consid-
ered eligible to the benefits of a retiring allowance.
Rule 6. Teachers in the professional departments of uni-
versities whose principal work is outside the profession of
teaching are not included.
Rule 7. The benefits of the Foundation shall not be avail-
able to those whose active service ceased before April 16, 1905,
the date of Mr. Carnegie's original letter to the trustees.
Rule 8. In counting years of service toward a retiring
allowance it is not necessary that the entire service shall have
been given in institutions upon the accepted list of the Foun-
dation, but only years of service in an institution of higher
education will be accepted as an equivalent.
Rule 9. In no case shall any allowance be paid to a teacher
who continues to give the whole or a part of his time to the
work of teaching as a member of the instructing staff of any
institution.
Rule ID. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching retains the power to alter these rules in such
manner as experience may indicate as desirable for the bene-
fit of the whole body of teachers.
Recognition of Individual Professors in Institutions
not on the accepted list
The Trustees realize that there are able and devoted teachers
rendering admirable service to education in institutions which,
owing to low entrance requirements, or for other reasons, are
considered below the academic grade requisite to entitle them
to a place on the accepted list of institutions. Individual pro-
fessors of extraordinary merit or service in such institutions
may be granted retiring allowances, but in such cases the
APPENDIX 67
Trustees will deal with the individual professor. Such allow-
ances cannot in any instance be granted to professors in in-
stitutions deemed to be tinder denominational control. Inas-
much as the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching is a gift to higher education, service in a high school
or academy will not entitle a teacher to a retiring allowance
from this Foundation.
These rules were approved at the annual meeting of the
trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching held on November 16, 1910.

so requested by the Trustees, and he shall, as soon as prac-
ticable after the meeting is held, report to the Clerk of the

APPENDIX 69
c. No person shall be eligible as a representative upon the
Nominating Committee or for nomination as Alumni Trustee,
who is officially connected with the University, or who is not
an active member of a duly registered and accepted Alumni
Association, or who has not held for at least ten years one of
the degrees established by the Statutes of the University,
conferred for work done in one of the schools maintained by
the Trustees.
d. Every such nomination presented to the Trustees by
the Nominating Committee shall be accompanied by a letter
stating that upon his election the person nominated will file
with the Clerk of the Trustees his irrevocable letter of resig-
nation as Alimini Trustee to take effect at the expiration of six
years from the date of election, or at the end of such other
term as the Trustees may prescribe under paragraph g of this
Resolution, and that he will be ineligible for one year there-
after for nomination as an Alumni Trustee, and the election
of such nominee by the Trustees shall take effect only upon
the filing of such letter of resignation.
e. To qualify an Alumni Association to participate in the
nomination of Alumni Trustees, under the terms of this Reso-
lution, such Association shall file with the Secretary of the
Alumni Council a copy of its constitution, showing that it
comes with the provisions of paragraph a of this Resolution,
and a list of its active members, not less than twenty-five in
number, who are regularly enrolled, together with a certifi-
cate signed by the Secretary and Treasurer of such Associa-
tion showing the number of active members in good standing,
and that the Association has agreed to contribute to the Alumni
Council and will contribute annually a sum to be fixed by the
Council, not less than one dollar for each duly enrolled active
member, such sums to be used to meet the necessary expenses
of the Nominating Committee and for such purposes as the
Alumni Council may determine.
f. Each nomination presented to the Trustees, in accord-
ance with the provisions of this Resolution, shall be accom-
panied by a statement from the Alumni Council containing the
names of the Associations which have duly qualified under
the foregoing sections and have complied with the provisions
thereof, and of the number of votes cast by each Association
for the nominee.
g. Until all of the six Alumni Trusteeships shall have
been filled and the terms of the incumbents so arranged that
one vacancy therein will regularly occur at the end of each
academic year, the length of the terms of the Alumni Trustees
shall be arranged by the Trustees so as to effect such regularity
at the earliest practicable time.
70 APPENDIX
h. The term active member as used in this resolution

sociation who holds a degree conferred for work done in any
of the schools maintained by the Trustees.
